moment we felt in control and immersed in
the world, just as before. And it’s not the only
adventure Rare is taking us on.
“Shores Of Gold is just the start,” says
design director Mike Chapman. “Tall Tales
as a platform allows us to do ongoing story
content, and I think Tall Tales represents the
tip of the iceberg. You have nine tales that
play out as part of that campaign but this
is an ongoing platform for us, players are
going to see ongoing story content in Sea
Of Thieves.”
With all of this content you now have
new ways of becoming a Pirate Legend: you
can work with the Sea Dogs in Arena, and
the Hunter’s Call with fishing. Add those to
the Gold Hoarders, Merchant Alliance and
Order Of Souls, and you now have a total of
five companies that allow you to progress,
giving players more flexibility in choosing
their own path. And Rare won’t stop there.
It’s committed to building the game with the
community, listening to feedback and adding
to the game to enrich everyone’s experience.
“I think what we’re doing now, with Tall
Tales and Arena, is that natural evolution
of, we’ve delivered that core vision of Sea
Of Thieves, now it’s about giving players
different routes to enjoy that fantastic
experience,” says Chapman.
If you’ve yet to pick up Sea Of Thieves, or
have swam ashore to wait for a good reason
to return, now has never been a better time to
plunder the high seas. Q
